The med is Cylert (pemoline). Elizabeth is the one that has experience with that one. I think it has been withdrawn from the US because of paranoid liver concerns. Phil likes the Adderall, and my pdoc mentioned a possible trial of Adderall XR 10mg AM, next time around if the methylphenidate family of products is a big bust. The "regular" Adderall made me too nervous, but I wan't also taking GABA-ergic medications like lowdose Depakote and Klonopin.Hey, Depakote just does magic for my hostility-what can I say? I have charted the heck out of it and the hostility seems to be "background" to some extent-independent of other meds triggering it.
I think that in the cubicle world of data slavery we now live in, if you aren't on meds to control your hostility you probably won't be working in the data slave trade much longer.
When I worked *outside* and was self-employed a decade ago, you didn't crap on people like is commonly done nowadays and if you did, everyone knew about it and you got your punishment. Nowadays it just a steady slow excrement shower, instead of the big wallops that got dealt with a "piece" at a time. Now it is psychic meterology.
Hang in there,
Mitch
